UNIX file Permission
I am trying to FTP files from windows to UNIX (IBM AIX). After having sent the files to unix server. Permisssion of the files becomes 640 (rw-r-----). I have to manually login to unix and do chmod 644 on the folder to give it permission. Is it possible that the files automaically be set to 644 on ftp from windows to unix.

You would have to look at this line in /etc/inetd.conf on your AIX box:
Code:
ftp     stream  tcp6    nowait  root    /usr/sbin/ftpd         ftpd -u 002

See the umask at the end of line?

Which FTP Server are you using? I had the same problem on Vsftpd Server ... I solved it by editing the following parameter in /etc/vsftpd.conf file
Code:
  local_umask=022

so as you can see you can indicate eny unmask option you like ;-)
